So I’ve made no secret about Actual Pain being one of my favorite brands and no secret about how much I love metal both of which goes hand in hand with the label. T.J. sent me a package of tees yesterday and threw in his band Book of Black Earth’s album The Feast. Those of you unfamiliar head over to their Myspace and get acquainted. They’re a juggernaut of northwestern Black Metal. Keyboard heavy, melodic and just all out brutal. Truly awesome stuff!

You can catch Book of Black Earth opening for Sonata Arctica this Valentines Day at the El Corazon in Seattle,Washington! How’s that for a Valentine’s Day Massacre!?
